obstacle to overcome as it represents the end of one 's life on this earth. However, I argue that death does not necessarily have to be all demoralizing as it brings more than just sadness and loneliness. As can be seen in the works of The Princess Bride and “Lancelot the Knight of the Cart”, death itself represents the quest through multiple stages of a hero’s journey, bringing a new dimension of life that does not simply mean the end.…

The romantic comedy film, Princess Bride, is filled with fantasy and adventure. See the famous 1973 novel come alive on the big screen.

The movie starts off when a young boys grandfather comes to visit him while he is sick. The child isn't too happy about it and wants him to leave.…

Arranged marriage, an argument existing for ages. Maybe one had experienced it themselves or watched a friend find their significant other through an organized scheme. Some may believe a marriage organized by the parents is forced, when that isn't always the case.
